THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DIcERE rAr,sUm AuDi•AT ? LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1813. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday last. The following are Extracts : '` PARIS, MARCH 16 —Yesterday, before Mass, M. d'OltSoll, Swedish Envoy Extraordinary, pre sented to the King, at a public audience, a Letter from his Sovereign, notifying to his Majesty the ileath of Charles XIII. and his own accession to the Throne. '' The Doke of Wellington had yesterday a long conference with the Dkike the Richelieu, the Prus sian Ambassadsr, and the Baron Moonier, Coun cillor of State, President of the Mixed Commis lion for the Liquidation of Foreign Claims. " It is in contemplation to erect a monument to the Swiss, who, on the days of the 10th August and 2d and 3 , 1 Septemtter, fell victims at Paris to the most heroic devotion, and martyrs to their " The waters have begun to inundate the road 'to Versailles, and on the side of St. Denis. The oire has also overflowed its banks. " Lord Spencer (we know not who is here :meant) was on FuldAy conveyed to Saint Palagie, for a debt of 40,000 francs, contracted in his furnished hotel. " The late tempest has caused great ravages in the departmeut of C6tes-du-Nord ; upwards of 150,000 apple trees were blown down or torn up by the roots, and nearly all the dwelling-houses, particularly in the open country ) were greatly da maged. M. Fieate opposes the seizure of the 11 th part of his Correspondence polilique et Administra tive. The Juge d' Instruction is about to commence proceedings. The cause will, it is said, be called on the 4th April before the Tribunal of Cor rectional Police. " The Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, in a Secret Committee, discussed the proposition for granting further time to the Colonists of St. Domingo for the payment of their debts. It was . agreed to, 95 to 32. " The Duke of Wellington hunted on Saute , day with the Dukes d'AngOuleme and de Berry in the Forest of Saint Germain-en-Laye. " On the 7th inst. there was a dreadtal storm at Liege, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Some days previous also, the lightning struck the tower of the great Church of Bridle, and caused much dam:igc. " Up to the ht of September last, there lead been struck with the effigies of Louis XVIII. 63, 617, 760 francs in Gold anti silver coins. " FIVE PER CENTS. "Saturday, ex. die. 6,f. 60c. CoNSTANTtNOPLE, FEB. 10.—The Baron de Strogonoff has ttansinitted another note to the Divan, compl.'iping of the delays which have ar isen regartiing the ainirs of Servia. " Lunec, MARcn 2.—The communications be t wren Sweden and Denmark have been completely re established. " BERLIN, MARCH 4.—Nothing is yet deter mined respecting the loan. " FRANKFOUT, MAactt 9.—CoNstitntions are arranging throughout Germany, and by degrees the Representative System mill be organized with out trouble or noise. It appears that the Diet will establish the first bases of this grand edifice by enacting principles to be common to all the Governments respecting individual liberty, the liberty of the Press, the equality of men in the eye of the law, and the privilege of not being taxed without their own consent." A half yearly Dividend of 5 per Cent. was ,this morning declared at the Bank of England upon Bank Stock. \Ve yesterday avowed our conviction of the fal lacy of the report of the intended retirement of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, and as it has not been questioned by any other Journal, it may be fairly supposed that this report had its origin in some electioneering speculations, which both the high and the low, who have any interests connected with Parliamentary changes, are always found to propagate on the eve of an expected General Eleviou. Such reports are indeed uniformly put into circulation when an event of this nature is supposed to be at hand.—But we have no in terests of that kind, except a general interest in the hope that the People will decidedly exert themselves to prevent the return of any per sons who ate likely to disturb the operations of Government with flivolous and vexatious de bates, for no purpose but to force themselves in to power by pertinacious hostility, or for the mere parade of elaborate declamation. We, therefore, repeat our satisfaction, that a Nobleman who is at tare head of Administration, and as fully qualified to be so, in point of integrity, sound knowledge, extensive experience, and high ta lents, us any Statesman that perhaps could be found in any Country, is not disposed to relinquish Eris important situation, but to continue to hold that office which has enabled him, in the most difficult times, to steer the Vessel of the State into the harbour of safety, to maintain the honour of the British Empire, and eminently to contribute to the deliverance of Europe. It seems strange that the Public Journals in general should have observed a cautious silence respecting BERNADOTTE, and the impending dis grace of Royalty, by the elevation of a Man to the Throne who was employed by his former Master to destroy Kings, and to seize upon their Territories.—That the Opposition Papers should hare been silent on this subject is not surprising, as they are in general actuated by Jacobinical prin ciples, and their uniform endeavours tend to the destruction of all Legitimate Authority. But that those Public Prints which are deemed Ministerial, and may be supposed to be advocates for Heredi tary Sovereignty, should manifest the same cau tious forbearance, is really extraordinary. We might ask them, indeed, whether they could ad vance any argument in support of BERNADOTTE'S pretensions to the Crown of Sweden, which would nor justify revolutionary measures in every other Country, and as they certainly must then answer in the negative, we might have rea son to be satisfied with their silence, if we did not deem it a positive duty on their part to resist revolutionary principles upon all occasions, and upon all occasions to be equally zealous in sup porting the established rights of Monarchy. Per haps these Ministerial Writers, as they are stiled, observe this guarded silence because they may conceive that the British Government is not in di-posed to recognise BERNADUTTE as a lawful Sovereign, or because they are not fully apprized of its intentions. But unless they are slavishly devoted to Government, a species of servility, which we trust that Government is too dig nitres! to require, and too much respected by the Country to need, they ought manfully to express their seotiments upon a question of the utmost importance to the solidity and welfare of all Legitimate Authority. The writers in favour of Government, besides their moral superiority over their adversaries, are evi dently men of superior abilities, and 'time en larged knowledge. The superiority of their abili ties and knowledge has been strikingly evident %Ton the subject of THE INDEMNITY BILL, for they have fairly proved that to suspend the law upon particular occasions is in reality to preserve the Constiintion. But the Opposition writers contended, because a few persons were taken into custody upon information on oath that they had been concerned in insurrectionary movements, that the Constitution was destroyed.—The Habeas Corpus Act, however, is again in full force, because, by the wisdom and vigour of Go vernment, the Country has bceti secured from ;hanger. But to return to BERNADOTTE. If Ministers have that regard for Legitimate Autho rity which the whole of their conduct must induce even their enemies to atti ibut e to them, they roust admire those who have independent minds, and are not inclined to servile and slavish submission. It is impossible but that a well-disposed people on any part of the Globe must view with disgust the pros pect of seeing a revolutionary Upstart It, an ancient Throne while the rightful Monarch and his family are alive, a Monarch deprived of his Crown for haviog asserted the dignity of Thrones and the independence: Of Nations. We, there fore, call upon the Writers who are the known advocates tor Goverument and law ful authority, to co-operate with us in the endeavour to rouse the Swedish people into a sense of the disgrace which they suffered in tolerating the usurpation of the late Duke of SLIDER MANIA, and which will be incalculably aug mented if they permit a reeolutiooery Intruder to possess himself of a throne which belongs to an heroic Monerch most unjustly deposed. Notwith standing the difficulties into which Sweden was brought by CHARLES the XII. the people con tinued to be attached to that heroic Eothusiaste hut his was military enthusiasm, %elide that of the injured GUSTAVUS Apocrnus, whose very name, so glorious in the annals of Sweden, might Le supposed to kindle the flame of loyZy over that country, was to repel revolationaty violence, to sustain the dignity of the royal character, to stip• port the rights of independent States, and to pre- serve those of his people. The following is the only article Worth notice in our Port Letters of this day :—" The George, --, from Liverpool to 'Waterford, was lost on Wexford Banks 13th nit. ; crew saved." GENERAL. ELECTION,—The great struggle in Westminster, on the ensuing General Election, will be between Lord COCHRANE and Sit FRANCIS BURDETT, OH the one part, and Messrs. HONE and It HUNT on the other; and, in the City, between Messrs. WATTHIAN and WOOLER. It is said, however, that Messrs. IlosE anti HUNT have united their interests, in order that both may become the sitting members, anti that a similar coalition has taken place between Messrs.WAITII MAN and WonLEa. If any of the whole of these parties should be successful, what will the %voila think of the honour and dignity of the great Cities of WESTMINSTER and LONDON 1 A Canal is in contemplation from Bishop Auck land to Boroughbridge. Should t hi s measure take place, we should then hope the River Wear would be made navigable from Chester Midge to Bishop Auebland ; indeed both the rivets. the Wear and the Tyne, have been greatly neglected, but especially the latter, not witllstandiog RENNtE's Report. The Coal-owners and Ship-owners on the river Wear have applied to Government for a Reduc tion of the Ocer•sea Duty on Coals—and they are, we understand, also about to apply for a Reduc tion of the Coast Duty on that article. It will give us great pleasure whenever these duties are given up. The Bill for the new Consolidation of the Du ties of Customs is, we understand, forthwith to be printed, to afford an opportunity to ti e Commercial World to consider it during tie recess. Rtunour says that at the interview which tie Doke nf CVAHENCE had vvith iNlinisttrs on me subject of his marriage with Miss WicKluzl, they stated the objection that there was to Me Royal Assent ; but intimated that to an uncut with a Royal Princess of a Foreign Protestant House the assent of his Royal Highness the PRINCR REGENT in Council would be given. ihe Duke of CLARENCE? consented to ,this arrarge. mem, and an offer of an alliance with a yont tiul Princess of Hesse has been transmitted special Messenger.—(a orning Chronicle ) The QUEEN Vid the Princesses li:LizAgzTtilnd AUGUSTA are expected at the Palace on or mlont Friday se'nnight. The Cottage of her 11Jyal Highness the Pi ineeSS ELIZABETH, in Wintsor Palk, has been let, and the whole of the stock of choice wines disposed of. Yesterday morning the Duke of Yonx left town for Windsor. The Prince of masse tiomlll7llG visited the Duke and Piichess of CUMBERLAND yeSterda.), and dined with Prince ESTEaHAZV, the AustlianArn b3ssador. THE INDEMNITY BILL. FOR THE SUN. ! bah ! hab BM is passed ! bah! bah ! hale ! Excuse,Sir,my ebulition, and let out my sides, or I shall burst —lt is pass-. ed I- 7 .ft has stood fire like an old ehare,et in battle, and its enemies have raised a smoke, by their flashes in the pan, in which they have sail rated themselves. Poor creatures ! Nan fuaiuin ex fulgore, &c. Sir A. this and Sir B. that have feasted on their own %voids, until, full gorged, they could only sicken against its title, and complain of what, in their indecent speeches, had been explained throughout, that it tvas intended to prevent the punishment of aggression. No such thing. It is no more than a protection for the neee3- sari apprehension and delentiwi of persons suspected of treason and sedition ; not against, plunderink or robbing them, by colour of magistt acy, for which the law is still open to them, as bath been ad mitted by the majority. One Gentleman justly complimented Ireland, and, though not an Irish man, he threw up a boll, that the word necessary in the Bill was improper, because it was not ne cessary at all at all ; and as the ATTORNEY-GENE RAL said, the amendment proposcd would make it down-right nonsense, and turn it into curds and whey, commonly called new svliiggisrn. In short, this opposition have sunk under their Own insig nificance. They have laboured like HORACE'S Mountain, parturiunt nannies, Sfc. ; and to make us laugh have produced a still-born mouse, for which they may sing in chorus, populus me sibilot, 81-c. with all their factious and inflammatory News papers, the Editors whet eof, it they have sinned from conviction, are to be pitied ; if against it, condemned. Let them all now court the sniff age of their friends and clients the insurgents. No honest candidate will oppose their representation of the dkafircted, either for the Bmough of Chalk Farm, Copenhagen House, Cold Bath Fields, or Palace Yard, in and about town ; or the purlieus of Manchester, Del by, Noi tingham, Leeds, and other places in the country; for they have been fairly weighed in the balances of malcontents, and found to be miserably wanting.

Lord BINNING was mentioned yesterday as the new Candidate for Rochester. It is now certain that there will be a contest for Newcastle-upon-Tyne. A Gentleman has •ffeted himself, an►l has been accepted. lie has likewise pr•)nLised the Freeholders of Newcastle to main tain their rights on a point in which they at pre; sent appear to take a very lively interest. Mr. LIDDELL is consiaered tis one of the Can:- dictates for Northt►nrl>etlarxi, and the dissatisfac tion expressed at the state of the Representation , of Durham County has induced the Freeholders to apply to an individual of great wealth and re.- spectlbility, who it is thought will offer bitn elf for that Cousi y.

Mr.MEYLrat, our late worthy Repre sentative in Parliament, a communication was made to the Marchioness of BUCKINGHAM, that it was the wish of the Corporation of Winchester, that Earl TEMPLE, her only child, should fill the vacant situation, anti become the new Member; but he having pledged himself to stand for the County of Buckingham, was obliged to decline ; on which JAMES HENLY LEIGH, Esq. of Stolle . Abbey, was solicited so be the new Member , whic-.ir he most readily acceded to ; accordingly'' he has been this day unanimously chosen to be the Representative in Parliament - f or this a rient City. After the Election, Mr. LEIGH and Lord TEMPLE were chaired from the Town Hall to St. John's House, and iron thence to t h e White: Hatt; atter which about 150 gentlemen sat dokvl to a must sumptuous dinner, provided by Ront.;Np of the White Hart, where the utmost convivi,ility prevailed; many loyal and constitntional and songs were given and sung, and the con cluded with the greatest harmony.
